Plants vs. Zombies originated as a tower-defense video game developed and published by PopCap Games in 2009. Players defend a home from waves of zombies by placing plants with different abilities across the lawn. The game’s colorful art, humorous enemies, music, and audio cues helped make it widely recognizable. Short clips associated with the series later became useful in gameplay videos, nostalgic posts, and memes. The sound remains relevant because it quickly evokes the game’s playful conflict and distinctive garden-defense premise.
